Intel Sandy Bridge 4-Way Motherboard Roundup - PAGE 13

PCMark Vantage:

PCMark Vantage and 7 resemble a lot to the 3DMark suite from FutureMark, except the fact that it includes many other tests like hard drive speed, memory and processor power, so these programs are considered as a whole system benchmark rather than just a gaming benchmark.

PCMark 7:

In both PCMark tests, all the boards came incredibly close in performance. These particular benchmarks run through a series of real-world tests and give a score based on the performance. While each board is separated by a few hundred points, this is not something that is going to be measurable in real-world performance, so it is best to say that all the boards are solid and make good use of all the performance offered by the Sandy Bridge platform.
